Proverbs 17:3
3 aThe crucible is for silver, and the furnace is for gold,band the Lord tests hearts.
1 Corinthians 10:13
13No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. cGod is faithful, and dhe will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.Hebrews 11:17
17By faith eAbraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was in the act of offering up his only son,James 1:12-14
12 fBlessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive gthe crown of life, hwhich God has promised to those who love him. 13Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one. 14But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire.James 2:21
21 iWas not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar?1 Peter 1:7
7so that jthe tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes kthough it is tested by lfire—may be found to result in mpraise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
